Good on you summoner,

Nice to see someones sticking up for the Aussie battler ute.

Try sticking a motorbike, or 4 wheels, or more than 1 bale of hay

in the back of a skyline! How about towing a boat?

I have a 2001 VU SS M6 235rwkw ute.Nothing like the sound of

a nice V8 winding through the gears. 260km/hr!!! Mate you must

have a hard top, 'cause anything over 220 & my tarp starts going

crazy on the rear window shelf.

Course Skylines are great (what else would I be doing on this forum) but remember what they were designed for.They are top level sports cars in Japan that only the very well off can afford.

The Holden is attainable new to the masses, & serves a large variety of different uses & needs.With wide, comfortable seats, plenty of room, & good useable torque they are excellent cars.

Ever notice how slow your Skyline is with 4 people in it?

Barely phases a V8 Holden. With 4 passengers my R34 really feels it.

BTW - just for fun I took my ute on a Skyline cruise a while back,

& managed to dust quite a few of them.

But, to be fair, I also took my R34 Vspec on a LS1 commodore cruise & dusted all of them. So what am I saying?? Hmm, not sure.

I suppose have both of them if you can.

:burnout:

My mate Brenton lives in Perth now.If he pulled up next to you in

his LC Torana, he'd dust all you all.( He pull 9.7!)

:lol:

Anyone who does not believe LS1 utes are fast should check out the latest issue of Perth Street car. The ute on the cover is running 10's at the 'Plex on the funny stuff.

THATS IMPRESSIVE in anybodys books.

I may not like the seadans and the rear end handling of the sedan and coupe but the ute is cool.

Yeah I've been caned by a couple of SS commies before. Also a 6cyl Falcon about 3 months ago, which I am still in shock over. It must have been turbo'd or something as it was an absolute thrashing. I was barely on boost by the time the Falcon was 3 or 4 lengths on me. That said, I've also beaten my fair share of V8s, mainly pre-VT2 commies, but a few LS1s.

Now why the hell am I posting in the WA forum...:confused:

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
